The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The girl remained unfazed and said lightly, "Prince Consort, you mustn’t." Lifting her head, she embraced the rooster, stating, "Today is a day of great joy for Song Lianjun, with the Prince absent, this rooster represents the Prince, how could you bring yourself to stew the Prince?"

Gu Youyou’s gaze gradually turned icy.

She knew the Empress meant no good; how could she have been assigned someone that would simply allow herself to be bullied?

This woman, seemingly fragile and in a very disadvantageous position, had not a trace of fear in her eyes. Instead, she was utterly calm.

Gu Youyou raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you intend to keep this rooster to accompany your wedding night?"

The maids behind Gu Youyou couldn’t help but cover their mouths and giggle softly at these words, but Song Lianjun’s lips curled into a hint of a smile. She said, "As per tradition, this rooster, representing the Prince, is to be placed beside the bed to spend the night with Lianjun. Prince Consort, surely you are aware of such customs?"

Gu Youyou let out a haughty laugh and looked down at her, speaking indifferently, "Now that you’ve entered these doors, I’ll teach you your first lesson. Outside rules do not matter here; in this residence, once the doors are closed, I am the rule."

Song Lianjun’s expression changed, her eyes now carrying a hint of frostiness.

Gu Youyou huffed and ordered one of the maids behind her, "Take the rooster to the kitchen and have them stew the bird as quickly as possible."
